The former UCLA Bruin was making his first Class AA road start. The Senators not only touched Cole for three runs on five hits, but Harrisburg outfielder Destin Hood touched him with the baseball as well.

As Hood’s single made its way through the middle it glanced off Cole’s face, sending him to the ground. He faced three more batters before getting out of the inning and going to Harrisburg Hospital for observation after swelling developed in the area under his ear where he was hit.
